Look at a map of... oh, downtown Just About Any Major City in the US. Take Los Angeles, or San Francisco. Nice grid pattern. These are planned cities, with streets laid out in a plan by planners. They planned it
Now look at a map of downtown Santa Fe, New Mexico. Santa Fe was founded by Spanish Conquistadors, who were not known as fabulous city planners. The streets were laid out by 17th century Spanish cattle. (No, really... all the major arteries were once cattle trails). The roads and the city expanded and grew organically over a looooong period of time).
The old part of Santa Fe is a jumbled mess of confusing streets... and hell to drive in... but it has a certain quaint charm, I think.
There's your first question: Planned or Organic?

I was looking for opinions, not builders.
